Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0139866A1] The invention concerns a unit (2) comprising a chamber (4) for contacting liquid and fumes, means (10, 12) for distributing liquid into said chamber (4), a circuit (14) feeding the distributing means (10, 12) with liquid, comprising in particular a pump (16), a safety liquid reserve (4) arranged at a level higher than that of said chamber (4) and means for transferring (22, 26) said liquid by gravity, from the reserve to the feeding circuit. The transfer means (22, 26) are adapted to enable the liquid to flow in both ascending and descending directions, said flow being constantly possible in at least one of the two directions and occurring in one direction or the other depending on pressure conditions prevailing in the feeder circuit.
